Dr Dan answers 3 Questions From the AnchorAwave FB Group -
Hi all I need some info before going full Anchor:
1) What metrics and analytics do we have when we publish a podcast on iTunes and others?
They are important in order to set a good project and improve as it goes on.
2) On Anchor we can add segments such as sounds and messages from other users: do they stay when we publish the podcast on iTunes and others?
How about the new co-host feature?
3) In the segment settings I find the option to publish it as a podcast.
Can I make the whole episode, made of several segments, to be published as single episode on iTunes and others?
